    Summary

    Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London, has always tried to keep both feet on the ground. It’s a pity, then, that the universe has other plans, and upon making a rather ill-advised decision to read one troublesome book, Jon finds his life quite literally turned upside down. Now six feet overground and one strong breeze away from deep space exploration, he’ll have to reckon with the forces that rule his life—and, ultimately, decide whether they rule him at all.

    But while Jon pontificates from on high, the inestimable Sasha James, Archival Assistant and unintended sleuth, is trying to discover what all this is about. Surrounded by suspicious strangers, mind-mangling manuscripts, and unexplained plumbing problems, she has plenty of places to start. She’ll find out who did this, even if it means uncovering a few cults along the way. Even if she feels a strange, growing kinship with the dark. Even if her friendship with Tim is deteriorating more by the day.

    Fighting the forces of darkness has never been so lonely.


    In which Jon learns to let go, Sasha tries to hold tight, and hindsight is twenty-twenty—assuming you still have eyes.

    Updates Wednesdays.

    Summary

    “Do not test me, Sergeant Fickle,” Elias finds himself saying in a low voice mere minutes later, staring up at the beast looming above him on the top of one of his bookshelves. “I’ve killed before, and I’d do it again. I’ve lived two hundred years, and I’ll live two hundred more. Lifetimes will pass before me, lives longer than yours by a magnitude, and in the end your tiny existence will mean nothing in the grand scheme of all that I will See. I could kill you here and feel nothing.”

    --

    OR: All of Elias' plans are coming together perfectly. That is, until the day that Jon finds The Cat (derogatory)

    Summary

    “Look, believe it or not, I had no intention of killing the Vampiric Council when I came here,” declares Nadja, sitting alone on the couch. “But Guillermo and I arrived at the first council meeting and did the whole, you know, the whole thing, the first day thing. Introductions and all that, yes hello wonderful to meet you, yes this is my bodyguard, yes he has slaughtered a tremendous number of our kind”--she flaps her hand absently--“normal first day things, you know? It was fine.” She pauses. “It got really fucking weird on the second day.”

    Or:

    Nadja and Guillermo seize control of vampiric politics, puppeteer world powers, and have the hottest of hot girl summers.

    Unfortunately, they also really miss the stupid assholes they're in love with. With no way left to find them, they have no choice but to consult an Archivist.
